Short look at Kuwabara's death. Haven't figured out how to make my line breaks stay when I post my stories, so I'm justa make another chapter.

Before he even knew what was happening, Kuwabara felt the slow tug of death. All around him the spirits he tried to ignore daily sprung up from the earth. The ground was moist with blood and the scent hung thick in the still air. Kuwabara reached a shaky hand up to touch the gaping wound in his side of his stomach. His hand slipped in the hot sticky blood gusting from the hole.

Pain seemed to be ebbing away. The moans and cries of the restless souls swirling above him now sounded as if it were coming from a distant tunnel. Each breath he drew in took so much longer than the last, but he noticed with relief he needed each breath less and less.

Blinking his heavy eyes, Kuwabara came to the decision that death was like falling asleep. You just floated until you sink. Briefly he wondered if that was why you woke up before you died in a dream; because you were already so close to drifting away to begin with that even a simple illusion in the mind could send you over the edge. The thought entered his head and flew out before he could understand what he was thinking about. The cold brushes of the departed he'd shivered from all his life now warmed him.

A hand on his face reminded him to take another breath. Kuwabara opened eyes he hadn't realized he'd closed. At first he saw only darkness. Soon a blurry face flickered to life before his eyes. Dimly he noticed the tears splashing onto his face. They felt like mist. There, but not really touching him. The brown eyes were familiar to Kuwabara. So were the slicked back black hair and the green clothes. Urameshi.

Everything was fuzzy. All the outlines and features blended together. The figure above him leaned over closer. Kuwabara vaguely saw him moving his mouth, but all he could hear was the garbled speech of someone trying to talk with a mouthful of cottonballs. Concentrating real hard, Kuwabara picked up the words 'Fight','Damnit', and 'Pussy' before he lost interest and started to drift off again.

The darkness in his head spun a little. Opening his eyes again, Kuwabara saw he was facing a different direction now and one cheek was more warmed than the other. His vision swam before Yusuke's face came back into his view. When Yusuke spoke this time, Kuwabara heard the words 'Love', 'Alive', and 'Need'. Kuwabara liked these words a lot better than the first set. He fought against the droop of his eyes. Trying to squeeze the hand grasping his, all Kuwabara could manage was a single twitch of his middle finger.
